I don’t think I’ll wait until next week (Thanksgiving to make this). It will be great with Sunday dinner. I appreciate your story today and your quote, so true!. As I’m now the child who has moved up to “Granny”, each holiday brings wonderful memories. I miss my grandparents and parents but I am so very thankful for the wonderful memories. Every season brings its own special memories: playing in the leaves with my cousins, laying on pallets next the warm stove in sleepovers at my grandparents, helping my papaw get new little chicks in the spring and planting his garden, gathering eggs, veggies from the garden and figs in the summer, shelling peas…. Lining up at the door between the kitchen and bathroom to be measured on the door frame every month. And, banana popsycles from the popsycle cart! Papaw and Mamaw always had the dimes ready!
My family is spread out and we can’t always be together for the holidays and the weekends but there are ways to keep the memories going. I hope I’m the kind of grandmother that my granddaughters will remember in such a special way! (Even though my son may say, ‘you’re granny’s nuts’ with a hug and a smile) God Bless you all!

The lunch room lady at my small school always made the Cranberry Crunch for us & we all still have memories of her and this delicious dessert I am planning on taking it to a Christmas Party our town has each Christmas

Christy, this sounds so very good except I can not stand oats. Is there an alternative I could use? Thanks for all your good recipes, love them.

Thank you Christy for this reminder. This will be the 2nd Thanksgiving without my Mother. We lost her last August and the holidays last year were very hard. This is like something my mother would have said to me. I will take this to heart and make it a great holiday season for my Dad and my sister and the kids. I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

I want to try this with some other fruits… such as blackberry…

Wonder if you can use the can pie filling, such as cherry….

I got my cookbook from Amazon today and inside the front page is a sticker, orange with a signature that says Christy. Is this your autograph??? Please let me know. I’m making creamy macaroni and cheese as we speak. Thanks.
